    My guess is that they won't clear the front ground effects when you turn, but without knowing the offset and tire size can't really say for sure.

    Mike from SDAC 20 had some 18s on his Daytona IIRC. I forget his user name though.

    Here is a thread with pics in it. I looked through a few threads and he stated the wheel size being 19", but I didn't see where he mentioned the width or offset.

    The 18x8 +35 should work on the front however I believe 18x9 is too wide for the rear no matter the offset. Personally, I never understood a staggered setup on a fwd car.

    I missed out, the guy sold them. I just like the look of the staggered set up. But im more for the dish look
